Considering poor Covid responses on top of inadequate medical care, poor nutrition, dangerous living conditions, etc., at what point are America's jails and prisons deemed inhumanely negligent?

I watched an interview with a state prison director. He enumerated the fences, locks cameras, and raises for COs his budget increases paid for. He never mentioned the word rehabilitation.
The physical confinement of hyperincarceration in a system we all know now that targets the compromised while favoring the elite is actual prolonged state-sponsored violence!
NEWSFLASH: COs have an unwritten rule about waiting outside of cells when prisoners cut themselves until they pass out from blood loss to minimize the chance of contamination. This causes many deaths and must stop!

The same clean water standards inside prison walls as outside prison walls.
#thesame
The same rights to exercise and fresh air for prisoners as for your pets.

The same code enforcement of black mold, radon,, and asbestos in prisons as without.

Private corps have found ways to extract money out of every corner of prisons and jails. Every last corner.
Is it a fair to evidence a carceral institution's commitment to rehabilitation, or lack thereof, by measuring how many educational opportunities they do or do not offer?

Pigs tossing cells and f*cking with a few in response to the National Shutem Down demos.

Body cameras were sold to the public as a way to strengthen police accountability.
Instead SC police have turned them into a tool to shield officers from accountability.
Another example of why it is past time to invest in people instead of police.

Saturday is the 50th anniversary of the martyrdom of George Jackson. Find out why this is important to ptisoners everywhere!
America could benefit greatly from a South African-style Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Get together, talk race and class, admit mistakes, hold some folks accountable, assign reparations where appropriate, end mass incarceration, and move forward in freedom for all!

Prisons do themselves a great disservice by ignoring the pleas of the prisoners, presuming that the most egregious offenders represent the whole body, and discounting prisoners abilities to solve their own problems.
PRISONERS HAVE NEEDS!
Clean drinking water.
Up to date text books.
Mold removal.
More educational opportunity.
More vocational training.
More addiction recovery.
More mental health aid.
Guaranteed parole plans.
...and much more!
